Abstract (en)
[origin: US7123297B2] A signal processing device for a sensor output signal from a sensor covered by a color mask pattern having a plurality of colors, the signal processing device comprising a reconstruction unit ( 5 ) for generating a plurality of color signal values (R, G, B) for each pixel from the sensor output signal; and a clipping device ( 8 ) for clipping the sensor output signal or the plurality of color signal values (R, G, B). Preferably, the signal processing device further comprises: a conversion unit ( 6 ) for generating luminance signals (Y) and chrominance signals (U, V) from the plurality of color signal values (R, G, B), and an adjustment unit ( 10 ) for selectively setting the chrominance signals (U, V) to a zero color difference when clipping is performed ( 8 ). Advantageously, the clipping device ( 8 ) is arranged between the sensor ( 3 ) and the reconstruction unit ( 5 ), and the signal processing device further comprises a single bit white clip delay unit ( 11 ) for generating a switch signal for the adjustment unit ( 10 ), the switch signal comprising an at least 2x2 bit array from, or at least in response to, a signal (SS) from the clipping device ( 8 ) indicating that clipping has occurred.
